Sunrise
Sometimes starting work early is pretty nice 🌅 It was nicer about 8am but I was wrapping up chat at that point then needed a ☕️

Alzheimer’s Disease
I’ll write up a post some point with some background around the cause. I don’t mention my birthday much, but this year I decided to jump on the Donation train on Facebook. I rarely use Facebook but it can’t be denied they don’t have a full range of tools for people to use. The donation…

Cleared the office
Today was office tidy and more junk clearing. Going through my old stuff and finally parted with electronics I haven’t used for years and don’t really work. Including this beaut: The Oregon Scientific Osaris PDA. Bought in ~2001, I got this as I couldn’t save enough for a Compaq iPaq. It has a serial port…

Small Talk
I found this app on the iOS app store the other day. It sends you a daily notification and you get a quote, joke, a word of the day and such. In its ancient form, the carrot was purple, not orange. Like that. Pretty interesting! And purple carrots are yummy! Check out the story below:…

Spotify Wrapped

Screen reduction / remember to charge wireless Apple Magic Mouse

Alcohol-free beer and age restrictions
I’ll preface this by saying I haven’t looked at the licensing laws at all. I’m just spitballing. My mate Ian came over yesterday to help me take a bunch of stuff to the recycling centre from the shed and then we went to Tesco last night to get a few bits for dinner. Since he…

Clearing out the TARDIS
We have a big shed. Someone nicknamed it the TARDIS. Over the past two years, we’ve put stuff in there to “sort out” but we’ve never properly sorted it out. Luckily, Ian offered to take stuff to the skip (Riverside Recycling Centre) with me. We had a few bags to fill the car but it…

Publishing anniversaries
I got my yearly ping today: Which reminded me that I hit 11 years on Twitter just over a week ago: 11 years on this thing.#MyTwitterAnniversary pic.twitter.com/BpcGnLX9rh — Doug (@dougaitken) November 22, 2018 I think I should feel happier that I ended up publishing first on WordPress.com (via another blog before2008-03-29) rather than…
